Proxy in Command (Creepypasta X Reader)

Chapter 53

"You brought her here, didn't you?" He asked the young boy.

"Of course I did. I raised her for four years, I couldn't let her stay there any longer."

"Then why did you join Zalgo, Zen? I was shocked to see you with him."

Zen couldn't tell him the truth. He didn't want pity.

"Slenderman isn't what he seemed."

(~~~)

Zalgo couldn't figure out how she escaped until a few hours later when he confronted Zen.

"You helped her, didn't you?" He growled as he stood in front of him in the throne room

"You were about to kill her. Of course, I would protect her."

Zalgo grinned. "Because of that, you will now be the bait to lure her into the forest. I will kill her either way but I will make it painful if you choose not to cooperate."

"I'm not agreeing to anything." Zen huffed.

"I don't think you have a choice, my boy."

(~~~)

I couldn't stop thinking about the memories Zen gave me before he died.

I squeezed my dagger tighter as I kept my gaze at Zalgo who was grinning at me. He knew I was grieving and would use my emotions to fight and he would use it as an advantage.

"What's wrong, Y/N? It seems like you just lost a brother. Oh wait, you did."

I felt the adrenaline and used it to sprint at him, forgetting the wound on my shoulder.

He swung his sword toward my side, just below my ribcage. I was somehow able to dodge him, but I made the mistake of swinging at him. He grabbed my wrist in time, squeezing hard enough to hurt me.

"The pain you feel right now will be nothing compared to the pain you will feel in the future if you somehow make it out alive, my dear. But don't worry, I will make sure to kill you and then revive you in the future so you can be stuck in the underworld with me for eternity!"

I tried to ignore what he said but the truth was, I was absolutely terrified. I wasn't going to win either way. If I kill Zalgo and I survive, whatever Zalgo was talking about will happen. But if I fail to kill him, I would be stuck with him. My future was at stake here.

With my other hand, I grabbed another dagger I had on my thigh strap and threw it directly at his neck. He let my wrist go as he took a few steps back. He kept his gaze on me as he pulled the dagger out of his neck. He smirked before he disappeared in front of me.

I scanned my surroundings, not finding him anywhere.

"Show yourself, you coward!"

I felt lightheaded before I looked at the pastas from across the fire who were afraid for me. My eyes widened when I saw Zalgo behind Slenderman.

"No!" I screamed as I reached my hand towards him. Immediately someone blocked my view in front of them and I felt a burning sensation in my stomach as I realized I had fallen for his trap. Zalgo stood in front of me as his smirk got bigger. My eyes slowly trailed down only to see that he had stabbed me with the same sword he used to kill Zen. I let out a loud gasp as I felt my lungs squeezing for air and a burning sensation all across my abdomen.

Zalgo grinned as he pulled his sword out, causing me to fall to the floor with me holding my wound.

I tried to turn my body as I slowly crawled away from him, trying to reach for a dagger that was a couple of feet away from me. I felt the blood come out of my mouth which made me spit it out.
